Maud MacCarthy (4 July 1882 – 2 June 1967), was an Irish violinist, singer, theosophist, writer, poet, esoteric teacher and authority on Indian music. She was among the first to begin a campaign to abolish the use of the harmonium in Indian music. She noted that keyed instruments and their rigid notes had caused the decline in vocal skills in Western music.[1]
